It just keeps beeping and rear engine light keeps blinking. Only way to get sound is by pressing * on remote.

    My biggest gripe and what led me to write a review even though i’m more of a review spectator and not a review writer is how easy it is for these train cars to derail

    And then it’s takes macgyver steady hands to pivot each wheel so that it goes back on track
